I have a new FreeBSD v2.1R system that I have installed recently that
keeps getting this message all day long to the system logs:
init: can't exec getty 'none' for port /dev/ttyp0: No such file or directory
Does anyone understand what it is trying to tell me? Or even better
where I should be looking for my problem(s)?
I did a pretty much default, full install of FreeBSD from FTP and
installed a bunch of the packages. I have about 2 GB of disks on a
486DX4-120 system with 16 MB of RAM. If any other info is needed, please
contact me via e-mail and I will try to provide it.
Thanks!
